Quenching Desire

Poem Commentary

All this from a man who thinks he's the life of the party. Partying by himself outside in the front yard. Drinking 40 ounce beers all alone. Fighting with the world. And we are the ones with the problem...

Quenching Desire

Oh, how your eyes twinkle as thoughts of Your Love enter your mind.
You can't control it, Your Love makes you happy all of the time.
The mere mention of Your Love sends a majestic rush throughout  your
body that is sublime.

Your Love has infected any sense of reasoning. Just the thought of not
holding Your Love is devastating. It has left you with such a ravishing craving.

As you imagine the way you will savor the very moment your mouth gently surrenders to Your Love's tasteful appeal. The way Your Love touches your lips is surreal. Your Love delivers an undeniable feeling you can barely conceal.

Blinded by the reckless path Your Love has led you upon. Take heed to Your Love's destructive passion. Your Love is dangerous, infamous for making you feel courageous.  Your Love can easily deceit, lure you in charm, only to cause harm, with such an easy defeat.

To speak of how Your Love takes control makes you feel weak. You remain in denial for how ever long believing it's you that is strong. Keeping Your Love at hand, proving you're the Man is never wrong.

So what, that you have pushed your family away, and it gets worse by the day. Again we remain neglected as you answer to Your Love's sway.

Your Love doesn't care how you break your Family's heart. All you care about is that the two of you are apart. Your Love doesn't have to hear you argue and swear. Nor does it see how you bring out fear. Your affair continues on year after year.

Your love does not feel your wrath, like those who get in your path.  The children don't understand and remain confused, asking every Sister and Brother,"Why does Father hate our Mother?" They will wonder this forever. We plead for you to sever the tie with Your Love, in hope that we would remain together.
 
You poured your heart out to your friends when you said, "You see this right here, this is my one true love. Nothing brings me cheer, nor do I hold anything more dear, Like a cold bottle or can of beer."

That is very true,really. I do understand careless love. You should read Reckless Heart on my list. You'll see what I mean. Thanks for reading..

I love coming to this site to find something new from you. This is by far (in my humble opinion) the absolute best poem you've posted yet. Every line hums with its' own energy, like a magnetic force pulling you in...I am helpless to resist. A flawless, outstanding 10! Please, for the love of everything that's good and decent in this world, don't make me wait so long for your next post ;)

You always have kind words for me. Thank you for that. Too bad what could be my best work comes from such an ugly ordeal. Maybe that's why, huh?

It's a tragic way for a family to live and all too common. You did a wonderful job conveying the loss and the betrayal that comes with alcoholism. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for taking the time to read my poem. It is tragic and because it is too common this drunk believes it's ok & we'll get over it.

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
